Triumph Restoration

Unlike Jaguar and MG, Triumph didn’t have much early success, creating pre-war inspired cars that failed to capture the American imagination. To remedy this problem, the design teams went back to the drawing board to find a solution, coming up with a project codenamed ‘The Bomb’, which would become the Triumph Spitfire.

The Spitfire was designed to reflect the fighter aircraft it was named for, with an all-new low slung body and re-designed roof that made the car look like a cockpit. Reasonably priced yet with good performance statistics, the Spitfire has gained a cult following as a ‘boy’s own adventure’ sports car, allowing thousands to own and run a classic relatively inexpensively, yet with all the thrill and excitement that it entails. Selling all the way into the 1980s, the Spitfire is a favourite at Triumph owners’ meetings, and a familiar sight at country inns on sunny days, as owners live out their own driving fantasies.
